 Celtic Lore
The Sacred World of the Celts
 By Nigel Pennick
ISBN: 0-89281-654-6
$28 / Inner Traditions / 1997
The ancient Celts believed
that the spiritual world infused every aspect of daily life,
and they expressed this belief in a legacy of poetry, art, and
mythology and our modern desire to reconnect to our spiritual
core finds a natural guide in the Celtic tradition. Looking at
all aspects of Celtic lifetheir high regard of women, the bardic
tradition, and the pagan calendarThe Sacred World of the Celts
is a comprehensive and richly illustrated examination of this
ancient culture and its continuation to the present day.
Under hard cover, 141 pages (of sometimes distractingly
large type) transports you to the rich world of Celtic legend
and history. Sacred World follows the origins of Celtic history
from central Europe through Scotland, exploring Celtic arts,
crafts, culture, heritage, lifestyle, and society. Celtic mythology
and folklore are explained in captions throughout the book which
helps in deciphering the sayings, legends, and complexities of
Celtic history. This book also ventures into the world of Celtic
religion and spirituality, including the Celtic Church and the
Sacred Year.
Sacred World is nicely-designed (with lots of full-color
photos and graphics) and offers a well-rounded examination of
Celtic culture, legend, history, and spirituality. It would be
impossible to include details on every aspect of Celtic heritage
in one volume, but this book does pack in a plethora of introductory
information.
